How to obtain a keytab for a Windows application server?

[Colin Caughie]

Hi,

I'm looking into using Kerberos (probably MIT) to add secure authentication
to a distributed application involving both Windows and Linux hosts.

What I can't figure out is: If I have a Windows based application server,
how do I set up its keytab? The docs say that application servers' keytabs
are set up by running kadmin on the machine hosting the server, but MIT
Kerberos for Windows doesn't seem to include kadmin.

Ideally I'd like to be able to automate the keytab generation as part of the
installation process of the application server. If I could build the kadm5
library for Windows, I could presumably just link to that and do the whole
thing programmatically.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
